Isn’t it nice to wake up to breakfast already made? Here’s a simple recipe on an easy Ready-When-You-Wake Cereal Breakfasts. To have something to eat that will sustain you and doesn’t make you feel cruddy? Especially when you have to get kids out the door early?

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup steel cut oats to 3 cups of water
  • 1/2 tsp  Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Stevia
  •  brown rice and millet
  • milk
  • fresh strawberries (optional)
  • soaked almonds
  • 1 drop cinnamon essential oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Pour your water into the cooker and then measure your oats.
  • Give it a stir.
  • Close the lid and leave on the warm setting all night.
  • I pull the pot out of the cooker and add a cup of ice to cool it down fast and this only takes a minute.
  • I then add my 2 most beloved ingredients, cinnamon and Stevia. You can add these the night before if you want your breakfast truly instant.A little of KAL Pure Stevia Extract goes a long way. So start with a small amount (it has a tiny spoon inside) and taste to discover your preferred level of sweetness.
  • The next 2 winners, brown rice and millet, I put in the cooker at night and just push the cook button, let the grain cook while I’m getting ready for bed, then unplug the cooker, leave the lid closed and serve in the morning.
  • It stays good on the counter overnight.Alternately, sometimes I’ll measure at night, let the grain soak overnight, and then hit the cook button in the morning. It takes about 20 minutes.
  • I use brown basmati rice. It has a sweet, nutty flavor, is very nutritious and is good to eat sweetened for breakfast or buttered for dinner.
  • The measurement is 1 cup rice to 2 cups water. For my family I usually use 3 1/2 cups of rice to 7 cups water.
